1 Porta San Pietro Wall Entrance in Lucca, Italy

A huge, Renaissance wall surrounds Lucca, Italy, and this is one of several entrances. Called Porta San Pietro, it was built on the south side of town in the mid-16th century by Alessandro Resta. Above the arch is an emblem of St. Peter flanked by two lion statues. In the pediment is the word “Libertas.” It promises a delightful, historic visit ahead that dates back to an ancient Roman colony.
